Dang, the atheist bleeding hearts embrace Darwinism yet demand treatment for those afflictions that weed the weak ones out. Stop sending them to specialists and remove them from the shallow end of the gene pool. Same for the goats. Lions will appreciate it.

"Yet after years of freezing and falling unexpectedly because of stress or sudden sounds, many patients with SPS develop agoraphobia, an irrational fear of certain places and/or situations. They become housebound, unable to venture outside their comfort zone."

What's so irrational about it? Who wouldn't prefer to stay home if at any time without warning you can keel over onto your face? I'd hardly get out of bed, myself.

I never had kids, never wanted to, and had a vasectomy as soon as I found out it was covered. So where's my cookie?

Didn't you join the special olympics? Your pre-child vasectomy should have qualified you for a "Hurray, everybody's a winner!" hug. If you didn't get one, remind them of your pre-child vasectomy and I guarantee a hug and plaque, I will personally send you a plaque commemorating your choice not to continue your shallow end of the gene pool. Your mother-sister will be proud.

Decided to switch from being a troll to just being an asshole, eh? Can't find anything on the Politics Tab to derp about?

My Hubby has a similar condition called "Paramyotonia Congenita", it's a mutation in the sodium channels in the muscle while SPS is a neurological disorder.

He's on an orphan heart medication for it since he was a kid.

It does have a side benefit, amazing muscles and 0 body fat without working out.

So if you threw him in the pool he'd sink like a stone? How can anybody have zero percent body fat? Don't even anorexics and starving persecution victims have a glob or two of adiposity somewhere?

As for the condition itself: dayyum, another thing I'm glad I don't have. Will they keep making the medication?

He does sink like a stone and even in the warmest pool water he'll be freezing. I want to buy him a wetsuit just so we can go swimming together.

I guess he has SOME body fat on him, but he looks like a weightlifter without trying.

We've had a few scares with his medication not being made anymore, but the government does have provisions for orphan medications.

It can be a very embarrassing condition, one of the first muscle groups to stiffen up are the mouth muscles, so he'll slur his speech. In fact, his brother once had a McDonald's call the cops on him because they thought he was driving drunk! (You need to take the meds with food)

It comes with a price though, my Hubby also has crooked fingers, a mild lazy eye (only noticeable during a stiff attack), a Pigeon Breast, can't swim without freezing, Acid Re-flux from his meds, ADHD*, and may need his hip replaced when he's older like his mother (who also has the disease).

/*His specialist thinks ADHD is co-morbid with his condition, he's writing a paper on it

And a woman I know is painfully recovering from an operation she had (thanks to Obamacare) to repair an anal fistula she got from letting an infected abscess go too long because she didn't have insurance. She told herself it was just a big zit or something that'll heal by itself, then the next thing you know she's in septic shock. That was rough: IV antibiotics for a couple days, then a couple weeks of packing the wound while she's having diarrhea from the antibiotics. (I'd rather picture flesh-eating bacteria, frankly.)

And my youngest niece has been suffering for three years from occipital neuralgia that makes my worst migraines & hangovers sound like a hangnail.

When will people stop being worse off than me? Maybe I should start a support group for People Who Don't Have It That Bad, Considering.
